XADM: EDBUTIL.EXE does not Return Non-zero Error Code

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5, when you run the EDBUTIL utility against the Microsoft Exchange Directory or Information Store, you will receive a message indicating that ESEUTIL should be run instead. However, EDBUTIL.EXE does not return a non-zero return code in this case. This will present a problem if you are using a batch file which calls EDBUTIL and performs error level checking based on the return code.
